Judith Peterson is a visual artist working in ink, photography, monoprint, and the transformative art of origami. Drawn to the direct, hand‑to‑paper act of folding, she explores simplicity and transformation through this intimate medium. Peterson began folding origami in medical school and now continues this longstanding practice as a certified instructor with the Nippon Origami Association, while also practicing medicine and teaching at the Sanford School of Medicine. The exhibit features a wide variety of paintings, photographs, and selected origami.
A reception for Peterson’s work will be held on Wednesday, April 22, in the Mary Nettleman, M.D. Classroom at the Wegner Library, beginning at 5:30 p.m. with an artist talk and panel discussion with Peterson to follow. We invite anyone interested in the ideas of kindness and medicine as a provider, a patient, a caregiver, or whatever context you bring to the topic.
